It was the same afternoon after our amazing mushroom trip in San José del Pacífico. I was just coming down from it after almost 6 hours of intense hallucinations in the woods and was in love with everything and everyone, still feeling some of the effects of the mushrooms. The sun was going down behind the mountains… (continue reading)
From the moment I discovered it was possible to camp at Hierve el Agua, I knew I wanted to capture a sunrise over there, showing a face of the place I have never seen before. There is just one other place in the world where you can find a landscape similar to Hierve el Agua In order… (continue reading)
We’d walked for almost an hour to get to the part of the cliff where we’d watch the sunset in Punta Cometa—the best place for sunsets in Mazunte because of its privileged location. I set up my cameras and sat down on the tall grass, almost over the edge of the cliff that faced Playa Mermejita. There… (continue reading)

It is mostly unknown and ignored by tourists, but those who stay are in for a big surprise. I knew about it… (continue reading)
I arrived at Oaxaca very early in the morning, after one of the worst nights on a bus ever, so I was a little bit tired, to say the least. Since I was Couchsurfing, I didn’t have a place to stay until my host was ready to receive me, so I walked around downtown until I luckily found… (continue reading)

So I sacrificed myself for this blog’s sake and started walking and drinking around San Cristóbal de… (continue reading)
The first thing I noticed when I mentioned I was going to Guadalajara is that everyone over there is super proud of all their local food, so doing a post about most of their specialities was a no-brainer. I arrived at ‘Guanatos’—as the locals call it—on an afternoon, and from that moment I had a little bit more… (continue reading)
Lake Pojoj is one of the more than 59 lakes located inside the perimeter of the Lagunas de Montebello National Park, which spans across the state of Chiapas and Guatemala. And even though I’d love to see them all, we were only able to see 7 of those lakes on that day—Pojoj being my favorite… (continue reading)
There’s no denying it. Once you decide to start backpacking every time you travel, there will be people constantly worrying about your integrity, no matter how well you explain them that you have the same amount of risks while staying in just one place than traveling around the world. In my case, my mom is the… (continue reading)
Patience is one of the most valuable virtues a photographer can have, specially if you’re on a very touristic area like the Agua Azul waterfalls. We arrived at Agua Azul around 4:30pm and hundreds of people were still bathing in the waters and hanging around, so it was really hard to shoot a good panoramic photo… (continue reading)
